Are Sprouted Grains Really Healthy?

[@jeanmc4213]

When making bread, all grains go through that soaking process when the bread is set to rise (twice in many cases). One thing about sprouted bread is that not only are you not eating dead grain (sprouted grains are alive when they are sprouted), once the grain is sprouted it becomes a plant. So you are not eating grain, you are eating plants, and the difference is huge when it comes to the glycemic scale. Once a grain sprouts the protein increases and the carbohydrate levels in that grain drop dramatically.

The nutrition label on my box of Ezekiel cereal begs to differ.

[@sixpackbinky]

Does it raise blood glucose like other flours?

[@ME-br6lt]

@@sixpackbinky sprouted grains do still raise blood glucose, but the Ezekiel sprouted bread bag says that it has a lower glycemic index rating - meaning it wont raise blood glucose as much as regular bread/flour.

About 8 months ago I started eating organic sprouted grain bread, the main benefit I got I started to have great bowel movement since the bread is high in fibre, and I actually lost weight. Unfortunately I am overseas on an island in the Philippines, where it's challenging to get higher quality bread. I have a local baker who makes his bread, but I can tell it's not the same as sprouted bread.

[@janegrey4374]

I've baked all of my own bread for decades, however, over the past few months, I've been purchasing wheat berries, ancient mostly, to grind my own flour. I first started hearing about the health benefits of sprouted grains and I plan to sprout grains prior to baking bread, hopefully, for most, if not all of my breads.

Phytates can be a problem for some. But it's definitely not like eating unsprouted grains means ur not absorbing any of the minerals which this video gives that off which is false. You still absorb an decently appreciable amount of zinc and iron from regular ol grains. Plus just eating the rice with vegetables or peppers high in vitamin C does the same thing as sprouting for those minerals

[@prioris55555]

the video didn't say that. how much of the available minerals will be binded to the phytates will depend upon how much of each there is. if i am taking a mineral supplement, i never take it with a meal that is dominated by phytates. there can be small amounts though. you use common sense.

[@VOTE4JUSTICE]

what he did say is that about 80% of iron and magnesium can't be digested with phytates.

[@elisenieuwe4649]

-That's actually not true. If you eat phytates over a longer period of time your gut (bacteria) adapt and the problem of iron/zinc absorption actually goes away. Also foods with phytates contain a lot of fiber and fiber feeds good gut bacteria and that increases overall nutrition absorption, not just iron and zinc. Furthermore combining iron rich foods with vitamin C increases absorption a lot. Same with zinc in combination with other foods. You cannot see phytates and establish that they decrease absorption of iron/zinc on their own and then just conclude: so it's bad. You eat food in combination with many other foods and those interactions between the different foods are incredibly important. -Also: longterm food studies show that people that have a phytate rich diet, have a better iron/zinc absorption in general. (And absorption of other nutrients as well.) Studies also show that vegaterians and vegans do not have a higher change of anemia.

[@decathlete2000]

Phytic acid can rot your teeth in a week--so how bad do you think it is to the rest of your system . Our enzymes are compromised hugely by large amounts of inflammation and fibrin -- so eating incorrectly is literally making a mountain out of a mole hill in an ever accelerating fashion -- self-destruction ..... step it up Dr. Axe you are doing good work...

So what do you eat???

[@joantendler6518]

Solve the whole problem of grains by eating the bread that people in Europe and Russia ate as their basic food for thousands of years, and many still eat: 100% whole grain sourdough rye bread! The long sourdough process destroys some amount of the phytates, oxalates, digestive enzyme inhibitors, and gluten! Fermentation also raises the essential amino acid lysine and lowers the non-essential acid arginine. These amino acids compete with each other, so more lysine (can't be made in the body) needs to be eaten than arginine (plenty is made in the body). When arginine is too high in your diet, like it is when you eat other grains, nuts, and seeds, you make too much inflammatory nitric oxide and arginine vasopressin (from studies), both of which cause many problems, like restlessness. Inflammatory nitric oxide is a major pathological molecule, found with inflammatory diseases. Arginine also feeds viruses and tumors, while lysine fights cancer, and keeps us calm. Also, unlike pretty much all other plant proteins, rye has a good zinc to copper ratio, which is necessary for brain function and your immune system. You need to make it yourself, but it's very easy-just watch the many videos on KZbin on how to make, for example, Danish sourdough rye bread. Then you can make very nourishing Danish open faced sandwiches, and toast it for the delicious caramel flavor. Best of all, you'll feel nicely full, because it keeps your blood sugar level with its special fiber. So, it's recommended for both diabetes and alcoholics. Solving the grain problem is easy, once you look at what our near ancestors actually ate!

At 2:38 you state that regular grain consumption increases your risk of diabetes and other health issues.

What evidence do you have to support the assertion that grain consumption increases your risk of diabetes? And what other sort of health issues does the consumption of whole grains cause?
